I'm trying to install SQL Server 2008 and i get an out of space error on C::w00t:.
How can i tell the installer i want it installed on D: not C:
I don't see anywhere during the install process where the install location can be changed:hehe:.
Thanx ...
Enjoy

Might be a crutch, but that also might work.
Can you put the install file on D:, then unzip the package on D:. If it's automatically put on C:, I'm sure you can move those files to D:.
Then run the install again. You might have enough free space on C: at that point.
You can also run the windows cleanup tool... or move backups to another drive.
I know that doesn't answer your question, but that might work!

I just ran the SQL 2008 install twice in the last 12 hours
There are many places that you may need to change to D:
1. Shared Features (c:\program files\....)
2. Shared Features (x86) (c:\program files (x86)\...)
3. Instance directory (....MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER)
4. User DB Data (D:\SQLData)
5. User DB Log (D:\SQLLogs)
6. TempDB Data (D:\TempDB)
7. TempDB Log (D:\TempDB)
8. Backup (D:\Backup)
Regardless, at minimum I believe it still needs ~1.2GB to install on C drive
But the overall installation ranges from 3GB to 6GB size in total

The SQL Server install will put a lot of files in the GAC, which is always on the system drive. There are other files that are always put on the system drive.
You will need about 600 MB of permanent space on your system drive, and while the install is running you will need about 1.1 GB temporary space on your system drive.
Therefore do not even think of running the install if you have less than 1.7 GB free space on the system drive before you start the install.
